FRESNO, Calif. - The Western Water Polo Association (WWPA) announced
Ryder Stermer was the men's water polo offensive player of the week following his career-high performance in the conference win over UC Merced.
The freshman from Fresno was unstoppable in the Saturday matchup against the Bobcats. He tallied four of the five Sunbird goals made in the third period, and went on to add an additional three goals to knock on the single-match program record. Stermer's career-high eight goals was one goal shy from Nick Fadden's own nine-goal performance in 2011.
Stermer has recorded 51 goals this season across 17 multi-scoring matches. He is ranked second on the team in goals and first in total points (70).
Fresno Pacific men's water polo is 6-16 overall and 2-2 in WWPA play.
